Crafting With Milkweed Pods

November 03, 2010

The sunlight streamed through the crochet curtains catching my eye as they cast a gorgeous pattern across the braided wool rug where the new kitten lay curled up warming herself. She hasalready found the best patch of sunlight in the house. We also lay curled up in handmade blankets on the couch, feeling the chill of this November morning. We linger a bit longer before heading out into the woods on this crisp November day!

While sitting cozily indoors I dreamt up a new craft I would create to place upon the nature table (and soon to adorn our Christmas tree with!)

Into the woods on this crisp November day we were on a hunt for treasures--Milkweed treasures to be exact! We hoped to meet with our friend Milkweed in the forest today in hopes that we would harvest some of the empty pods that inspire us so richly in our crafting!

Running through the fields, we spotted many milkweed pods. We were reminded of the fun they have shared with us in days past,as we let each tiny seed baby float along ahead of us--awakened fromtheir cozy beds.
